MR.. GOODIES REMARKS.
Mr.. Goode came forward amid loud
cheers and said
Gentlemen of the Convention, Let
me return my thanks for this dlstin-
gui.hed honor 1t is a hish honor
to preside over such an intelligent
and patriotic body OF Demo
Gratis. 1t is no ordinary occasion
which has called you from your
houses and accustomed ayocatlons.
You have come TO take counsel to-
gether and perfect your organizations
party and prepare for tho campaign
Won are about t. enter. As look INTO
your faces | see the spirit OF manly de-
termination to sink all minor differ
enccs.
Gentlemen, it will not require a
prophet to see what will be tn result
Of the contest in November, and it will
be through indifference and apathy If
We allow the State To be wrestei from
us. The continued ascendancy Of the
Democratic party in Virginia Is essen
tial to the honor and prosperity aud
happiness of the people.
NO SUCH WORD As FAIL.
five then would save the State from
destruction, if We would escape from
onerous taxation too burdensomo % b.
borne. save intact ournoble institutions
Of charity and our schools, which were
started by the Democratic party; II w
would send n man to the Senate OF tn
United States who would reflect credit
on his people and State We must resolve
here to-day, elbow to elbow, that therei *
no such word rs fail. 1t is not the right
hut the duty of every man to take an
interest in the affairs Of his Govern
mont. and be should vote and In these
respects the Chief Executive of this
country is n good example. Whenever
an election occurs at his home h.
always goes and votes, and always
votes tho Democratic ticket. No indie
pendent tickets for him. The Demo
cratic ticket is good enough for him.
Laughter and applause.
THE SENATORSHIP.
In November the Legislature will be
elected. who will choose n senator OF
the United States. They will elect the
basement Offices of the Capitol and
many Judges. The Democratic plrty
has always redeemed every promise 1t
has made. Fitzhugh Lee Cheers, tho
knighiliest OF the knightly, has r.
deemed every promise his party has
made. Experimentation has been SO
fair and so prosperous that even the
colored man had begun to say there
never was better man in the cXecu-
tive chair. Applause
The speaker referred also to the Nir-
GINA Legislature, which had condncte /
itself with so much credit to itself. II
touched on the debt question. He r.
membered the time soon after the wlr
when tho people had said they wouid
pay the debt, but he felt now
that such craftsmanship did not
suit the exigencies of the occl-
sion. Laughter. 1--WE ought 10 haze
had. -" he said, 1.-THE views Of the old
war-horse, John Barbour, there" Then
Mr.. Goode reviewed the passage OF the
funding bill and the Riddleberger bill,
and related how the latter had since
been frequently endorsed byour party,
and, he added, 81 DO not now See how
we can recede from that settlement.
We cannot repudlate what We promised
TO pay without doing the state incalcu-
liable harm. We cannot pay more
without impairing our noble instltu-
tons OF charity
PAY ALL WE CAS.
We Will pay al We can, but We Owe
a debt TO our deaf, dumb, and bind, u
our insane, and to the brave men who
lost their limbs in tue defence Of their
country. [Cheersl. What the r.
publicans will do We cannot yet tell
The Oracle in Petersburg has not
spoken yet. 1t has not taken snuff, 50
the Republicans haven't sneezed aad
they are not going to SueeZe until the
Oracle does take snuff. Laughter.
If Malone wants convention no
will have it. He viii be there and will
call it to order, offer resolutions, pass
them, and then. before tho convention
adlourps, he will offer resolutions OF
thanks to himself. Laughter.
PERTINENT QUESTIONS.
IL we lose in the coming contest it
will give Malone the power he wants.
Are YOU prepared TO meet the emer-
gency? II the considerations which
should push us on to prevent this casas
trophe are not sufficient to move rs vi
are the degenerate sons of noble sires
If we lose Virginia We will likely, too
lose in the presidential campaign IN
1888.
Tie speaker compared the two IA
tional parties and showed the differ
ence in their platforms. One 9TH,
Democratic) was represented by suci
men as Grover Cleveland, John =. Car
Isle, Allen G.. Thurman. and others o.
that stamp, while the Republican part,

and the Fairchilds.
